Remarkably Sensitive Telephone.

By invitation of w. A. Hayward
manager of the Pulsion Telephone
Company, the Associative Press agent
and other newspaper men inspected
their private wire this afternoon. The
transmitter contains a most sensitive
vibrator, fully covered by patents, and
uses no electricity. Two transmitters
were placed in the attics of two differ
ent buildings and connected by 1900
feet of bale copper wire. Another was
run to an apple orchard, wound around
a tree and continued back to the
house. The party stood in the
orchard and Mr. Prince went to one
of the attics. Conversation was car
ried on by simply standing near and
talking toward the limb of the tree
that the wire was attached to. The
lowest whisper and the ticking of a
watch were distinctly heard by placing
one end of broom handle or stick
against the tree and the other end to
the ear. A hat was held against the
wire and the Associated Press agent
walked sixty feet by actual measure
ment from the hat and yet distinctly
heard the conversation. The playing
of harmonica and singing was heard
a distance of seventy-fve feet from the
hat. The party then went to the attic
OF the house where one transmitter
was stationed, while Mr.. Prince re-
manned at the other end, nearly half
a mile away. The lowest conversation
was heard in any part of the house,
also whispering, singing, etc, The
party then went out of the house,
down stairs, and stood in the yard
three feet from the stairs, and heard
Mr.. Prince sing and talk. MIR. Prince
then went down stairs in the house
where his transmitter was located and
talked in an entry away from the
transmitter and wire, and could be
plainly heard by persons at the other
end Milton, Mass, Dispatch to

WORCESTER, Mass, Sept. 20.-The
committee appointed to ascertain the
number of ''partisans and offensive re-
publicans" holding federal offices in
Massachusetts, and the reason for their
retsation reported at a meeting of the
democratic state committee. They and
that 83 per cent of the government en-
ployes in Massachusetts, including Mas
~sachusetts people in the departments at
Washington, are republicans. The lead
ing. single departments are: Custom
house employees II, republicans SO: Post
Office, total employees G,120, republicans
l,656. The committee say that during
the latter part of the republican regime
there was great talk but no practice OF
civil service reform. They deny that it
Is merely retention in office that they OBJ
ject to, but tho fact Is that a large part
OF the republican 'tmachine'' is thus sup
ported.
a~Theyaccuse the collector and postmaster
OF Boston with treating them in an undem-
ocratic way and as with being indiffer-
emit to the success of the party. They
recommend that the whole subject be re-
ferred to the convention and by the con
vention to the president for practical
remedy. Hon. Edward Avery, Of Brain

LONDON, Sept. 20.-The sprint race at
Lille Bridge was the scene of a most dis
graceful riot. Gent and Hutchins were
announced to run a race of twelve yards
for a purse OF e2, 600. The grounds were
crowded with thousands OF spectators
who were enthusiastic and bets were
flying about in a lively manner before
the race. When the time came for the
runners to start both men appeared but.
at a private trial heldin the morning and
his hackers ut the last m forbade
his running. This was announced to the
spectators n Hutchins was given the
stakes. This saved the heavy betters
who were backing Gent. The spectators
were Disguised, but when the owners Of
the grounds refused to return the en-
franc money to them their indignation
knew no bounds, and directly a riot be-
gan.
Many of Che people were from the prov
fnces and were doubly enraged at losing
both their fares to the place and
the money they had paid to witness
the race also. They began by demolishing
the ratings abou the stands and ring.
They then continued their attack and
partially demolished the grand stands, q
pavilion, and q large assembly hall which
they set OF fire. After collecting the
debris they had made they piled it all up
in six large heaps and set them on fire.
Upon this, excited by the destruction
they had already accomplished they fired
the several wooden outbuildings and the
ratings near the railroad and very nearly
set fire to Brompton depot. They then
looted liquor saloons, bombarded windows
and played havoc generally. When the po-
lice and firsmen charged upon them they
returned the charge with both full and
empty bottles from the saloons. A NUM-
Der of the rioters had a struggle with the
railroad inspector who dropped dead,
overcome by excitement.
Firemen played the hose on the rioters,
but 1T was of no effect, and the mob held
possession of the saloons int surround
ings for three hours. When the police
were Sreatly FelnloTceG ana were ready
for another charge, the crowd dispersed.
A great amount of damage was done and
the cost to the owners will be enormous.
The majority of the buildings on the
grounds are either partly or wholly de-
molished and the place looks as though
1T had been visited by a whirlwind fol-
lowed bya fire. Four constables were
wounded severely in the fight with the
rioters. Three arrests nave been made In
cluding the ringleaders

on the fact that he introduced in this

ical service, by which the poor have had
the best medical attention gratis, if they
could not afford to pay. Moreover, he
believes that the small sum he requires
will be more than repaid in French graf
